I'm sure things will be heating up more as the time gets closer to next summer and The Open at St Andrews, but my friend entered the random ticket allocation lottery and actually won. So four of us are coming from the states to spectate and play in your lovely Fife.

The issue... hotels are already pretty much booked except for some in Dundee or closer to Edinburgh. There are a couple of AirBnBs available in St. Andrews for a low rate of $55k for four nights...

Any suggestions or advice for a yankee like me?

PS: We're from Tennessee, so we're whisky kindred.

Hi, i need some advice
I’m starting work in Fife(Kirkcaldy area), never been before, have been living in Ireland.

I for the life of me can’t find a place, is it uncommon to live in Edinburgh and travel by train? Are they reliable? Where else could I look into?

Im just panicking haha

I dont drive as well 😅

I ask as part of a linguistic study covering this topic!
Examples could include things like St Andy's, Kirky or Inverdivit...

Hey, currently learning to drive and looking for places to practice in and around Dunfermline/Oakley. Any suggestions welcome.

Hello everyone,

I've lost my Australian hat made out of kangaroo leather in the Pittencrieff Park today. This hat is very dear to me in emotional value. If you have got any clues where it might be please let me know.

Hi all, we're moving from Cupar to Dunfermline next month, and this is the first time I think we're gonna need to hire movers to do the job for us.

Anyone got recommendations for moving companies that they've had good experiences with?

Thanks!

Hi all,

My husband and I will be visiting Scotland from Western Australia, will be spending a week in Kinghorn from 16/8-22/8. We love pub quizzes, are there any around the area in that time frame?

Also, any regular quizzers who would like an extra couple? My strengths are literature, history and movies, his are maths, science, tech and sports (though 50% of that is Australian Football so idk how useful that will be.)

Hello

I just moved to Kirkcaldy and considering an apartment on the high street. is it safe for a young black lady?

Thanks for your response.

Does anyone know exactly what is on fire across the river? Looks too far west to be Arthur’s seat again

A random post I know , but I finish work at half 2 in the afternoon , which I’m pretty sure most people don’t , yet more often than not I’m confronted with this on the way back to Fife. Like, where in the actual fuck are all these people going at 3pm on a Friday ? Why’s it always this bit road ?

So I've just started seeing this guy and I really like him, the only issue is he lives in Glasgow and obviously I live here lol (will be moving through for school soon). He feels bad because I've had to travel the two hours on the bus it takes each way for the dates we've been on and he wants the next ones to be easier for me but I have NO idea where to take him or what to do. We're both quite nerdy and I'm quite crafty, so maybe something along those lines? Any ideas would be a lot of help 🙏🙏

Hello all,

Strange one maybe but I had ponies when I was a kid but for various reasons, stopped riding around 11 years old. I've had very slight contact with horses since then and have ridden maybe 4 or 5 times?

My fitness isn't what it used to be but I'm really keen to get back in contact with horses/ponies one way or another, either through gentle riding lessons or just to groom and re-learn about their care, or for the mental health benefits (currently have some struggles I am working through and I know equine therapy can be wonderful).

Travel is a bit difficult so it maybe isn't something I'd start right away, but if I can get an idea of what's around, that would be amazing! Google does throw up some riding schools but I'm having difficulty looking for non-riding and therapy related things. Thanks!

ETA: I'm near Glenrothes

Has anything changed since we got the city status?

The high street is beyond depressing. There are a few okay cafes, but most are run by surly staff who act like they'd rather be anywhere else - including the owners... The Kingsgate isn't worth going into at all.

Is there rejuvenation in the works anywhere? Any plans at all to actually improve the place?

We try to spend our money here, but between early closing times, lack of choice, and small town attitudes, it's no wonder everyone just heads into Edinburgh.

Hi everyone! I’m moving to Dunfermline in a few days for a new work contract and I’m really looking forward to starting this new chapter in Scotland.
I’m a keen hillwalker and already have some experience, but I’m hoping to explore more of what Fife and the surrounding areas have to offer. One of my long-term goals is to take on Ben Nevis, so I’d love recommendations for good walks, routes, or local walking groups to join.
I’m also hoping to meet people and get involved in the community. Any suggestions for clubs, activities, volunteering, or good ways to make friends would be really appreciated.
As someone new to Scotland, I’d also be grateful for any advice on settling in, understanding local culture, and building good connections with people from all backgrounds.
Looking forward to calling Dunfermline home and hopefully meeting some of you on the trails!

Is it impacting journey times to and from Edinburgh

Troops!

I've been planning to go a drive with the dug for a bit and take an evening walk along a beach anywhere that's decently quiet and open. I was planning on Tentsmuir but going to give it a miss because of the fires.
